Chris Rock Comments On Tyler Perry Dressing In Drag

In a recent interview with Vibe Magazine, Chris Rock shared his thoughts on black male actors dressing up in drag. We have seen actors like Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence donned in a dress and heels to swimsuits and braids. I guess Chris gets a little tired of seeing the same type of movie in the black community.

“Tyler Perry is great in a dress, but I don’t want to see Denzel or Will Smith in a dress. And I don’t think we’re in any danger of seeing that. (The black community) doesn’t have that many movies, so if there’s only four black movies in a year and two of them star black men in dresses, I could see how that would upset some people. But that’s a job for some people.”

Do you think a black man in drag is getting a little too old? Or do you feel black people in general aren’t given enough diversity in acting? Source
